bus tracking

Route progress updates

Bus tracking is a system that monitors the real-time location of buses, typically using GPS technology.

Transit agencies and apps display this information so passengers can see when the next bus will arrive: The bus tracking app said the 42 was three minutes away.

School districts often provide bus tracking for parents monitoring their children's commute.
